TERESA
Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu on August 27, 1910, in Skopje, the capital city of Macedonia. Her family was very religious and helped the hungry and homeless. When she was nine, her father died and life became difficult. However, the family was happy and full of life. NOBEL
PEACE PRIZE WINNER
In
1948, Mother Teresa left the order to live among and to help the poorest people
in Calcutta. After she learned about the illness of the poor, she started to
work with the Missionaries of Charity and medical proffesionals who had
volunteered their help. Subsequently, her work expanded to ninety-five
countries, including Venezuela, Italy, Tanzania, Great Britain, Australia, and
the United States. Mother
Teresa was admired all over the world for her work. In 1979, she was awarded
the Novel Peace Prize in Norway. Young Nowegians presented her with thousands
of dollars they had collected to help her in her work. At Harvard University
graduation ceremonies, Mother Teresa received an honorary award. The day before
the ceremony, she spoke to the graduates, who listened with great respect and
gave her a standing ovation. In November 1995, in a ceremony at St.
Paul’s Church in San Francisco, thirty nuns became volunteers for Mother
Teresa. Indeed, Mother Teresa was respected by people in all walks of life. Mother
Teresa died on September 6, 1997 at the age of 87. Mother Teresa had spent most
of her life caring for the forgotten people of the world. She felf unworthy of
the many honors she had received. However, they enabled her to raise funds to
continue her fine work among the destitute, and for that, she was truly
grateful. Alice
